And he broke down the tower of Penuel and killed the men of the city.
And he said to the men of Penuel, “When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.”
Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. And he went out from there and built Penuel.
And he took the elders of the city, and he took thorns of the wilderness and briers and with them taught the men of Succoth a lesson.
Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “Where are the men whom you killed at Tabor?” They answered, “As you are, so were they. Every one of them resembled the son of a king.”
